* A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes "for" or "against" a resolution.

*** Mark Coombs has not voted on Resolution 18 as an interested party

 

With effect from the conclusion of the annual general meeting, Nick Land has retired from

the Board.

 

In keeping with best practice, the Company regularly engages with its major shareholders on a range of matters. The Company consults with a number of shareholders and proxy advisor bodies to discuss the business being proposed at the Company's AGM to understand the reasons for shareholders voting against any particular resolution, (such as Resolution 18) and remains committed to engaging with shareholders on any issues of concern to ensure that its policies and practice are transparent and clear in the context of its business model and performance. The Board is kept informed of, and assesses, any shareholder feedback relating to such matters.

 

 

The above summary of proxy votes will shortly be available on the Company's website, www.ashmoregroup.com.
